| 6/23/26 |  The psychological traps costing property buyers | In this episode of Australian Property Podcast, Amy Lunardi and Chris Bates unpack the psychological traps that can quietly cost property buyers money, momentum and confidence. The conversation starts with a simple idea: a buyer’s market should feel easier, but in practice it can feel even harder because lower sentiment, softer prices and more choice often create more doubt. Amy explains why buying property is unlike almost any other purchase. The stakes are high, opinions come from everywhere, data is imperfect and emotions can spike at exactly the wrong moment. Together, Amy and Chris explore the traps buyers fall into most often: waiting for social proof, second-guessing a property after a pass-in, trying to time the bottom of the market, getting rattled by difficult agents, anchoring to one sale, or letting family opinions override a clear plan. The episode also focuses on what buyers can control. Amy shares why strong preparation matters more than bravado, how to think about personal value versus on-paper value, and why a good negotiation often comes down to scenario planning, pausing under pressure and returning to your fundamentals. If you’re buying in a softer market, navigating auctions or trying to avoid self-sabotage, this is a practical episode on making better property decisions with less regret.

| 6/20/26 |  Rate pause, Budget shock and the next move for Australia's property market | In this episode of the Australian Property Podcast, Pete Wargent and Chris Bates unpack a housing market that is trying to stabilise after the Budget shock, without much conviction that the hard part is over. They start with the Reserve Bank holding the cash rate at 4.35%. Bond yields are off their peak, some fixed rates are edging lower, and buyers are asking whether confidence can rebuild. Pete and Chris explain why that does not guarantee a strong recovery while policy uncertainty, softer investor demand and weak sentiment still weigh on Sydney and Melbourne. The episode then turns to what is changing on the ground. Investors are pulling back, upgraders are cautious, first-home buyers are getting a little more breathing room, and rents remain under pressure because vacancies are still tight. They also unpack stamp duty changes, buyer incentives and why mortgage stress is still more of a pressure story than a distressed-sales story. Finally, they look ahead to late 2026 and 2027. If rates fall meaningfully, the market could find a new leg higher. If cuts stay modest, Australia may be heading into a slower, more balanced phase instead. It is a useful episode for buyers, investors and homeowners trying to work out what matters now and what noise to ignore.

| 6/16/26 |  First home buyers after the Budget: grants, pathways and the traps to avoid | First home buyers are finally getting a bit more breathing room, but that does not mean every scheme is a green light. In this Australian Property Podcast episode, Chris Bates sits down with Jack Elliott, National First Home Buyer Specialist at Alcove, to unpack what changed after the Budget and how buyers should think about grants, guarantees and shared-equity options in 2026. Jack explains why some first home buyers are seeing less competition at opens and auctions, how changes to investor borrowing power may be shifting the market, and why waiting for the perfect headline can be just as risky as rushing in too early. The bigger question, according to Jack, is whether you are actually ready: know your numbers, stress-test your budget, understand your pathway and buy with the next five to ten years in mind. They also break down the main paths into the market, including the 5% deposit scheme, LMI waivers for certain professions, guarantor loans, Help to Buy, and gifted money. Plus, they cover what to watch with stamp duty concessions and the First Home Owner Grant, and the trap of letting a short-term incentive drive a long-term property decision. If you are trying to work out whether to buy now, which scheme fits your situation, or how to avoid the biggest first-home-buyer mistakes, this episode is for you.

| 6/13/26 |  The post-Budget property reset — fear, buyers and what happens next | In this episode of the Australian Property Podcast, Pete Wargent and Chris Bates step back from the panic that followed the federal Budget and ask what is actually changing in Australia’s housing market. The headlines have turned hard, sentiment has cooled quickly and buyers are suddenly hearing talk of weaker auctions, falling prices and a tougher road for investors. Pete and Chris explain why the fear feels louder than the facts, why some owner-occupier markets may hold up far better than investor-led pockets, and why softer turnover can show up long before the national data fully catches up. They also discuss why first-home buyers may get a little more breathing room if investors retreat, but why that same shift could deepen rental pressure and make the supply problem worse. The episode then moves from headlines to strategy. Pete and Chris unpack where capital may flow next, including commercial property and new apartments, and whether those pivots genuinely stack up for investors. They also weigh up the more constructive side of the story: ongoing housing undersupply, easing rate expectations and the chance some of the most dramatic policy fears get diluted over time. Plus, they answer listener questions on land tax, retirement pressure and what a move to New Zealand could mean for Australians with property held across multiple structures. If you want a practical take on the post-Budget property reset, buyer opportunity and the risks hiding underneath the noise, this is a timely episode to queue up.
